"Initially quite funky and rustic, it needed several hours of air to open up. When it did, it was a fantastic wine that captured the essence of this warm vintage in its ripe fruit and generous, enveloping personality. "

In the glass in a sappy blend of red and black cherries, woodsmoke, gentle notes of tar, forest floor, orange peel, oregano, a bit of dried red fruit and a topnote of heather. On the palate full-bodied and still shows marvelous mid-palate depth, with stunning focus and complexity, impeccable balance, modest tannins and a very long, vibrant and tangy finish. JG
